Video Translation Overview

This article is for Translators, Editors, or Reviewers.

Smartling allows Translators to translate SubRip (SRT) files with video context, for more accurate translations. While largely the same as our CAT tool interface for text, there are a few key customizations for video translation. Consult the CAT Tool Overview page for general info about Smartling's CAT tool.

Play/Pause

Like any standard media player, you can toggle the video on or off using the play/pause button. You may click on the video itself or the play/pause button on the far left of the media controls panel.

Replay

Replay will repeat the segment that is currently active, i.e. whatever segment you’ve clicked into. The segment will repeat once every time replay is clicked.

Loop

The loop command will keep a segment looping indefinitely. While loop is enabled (the icon will turn blue if it’s enabled), clicking into any segment will automatically start playing that segment and keep it looping. Pressing the pause button will pause the loop.
